There is no such instruction in this hack - it looks like something from the 3.0.x version, but even then it doesn't look quite right - however, please post your question in the correct thread.

Umm installed...guess it is working? :)

I have a slight problem I have gone to do this part

but I can not find anything that it asks me to find, please can anyone help

Those instructions are part of the 3.0.x version, not the 3.5 version.

So is there one for 3.5.0? If so where are the instructions for it?

Thanks for the help

Um ... this is the 3.5 hack thread .......

This was where I downloaded the file from to do the edits etc but I am having problems with step 4

it's ok my fault, must have somehow thought I was downloading the file for 3.5 but didnt, ahhh i feel stupid now, thanks for the help paul it's much appreciated

Sorry but you did not download the file with those instructions from this thread.

it's ok now as I said above paul

thanks again

Two both variables take IP and his DNS name. How can I take only IP number?
I want to generate a link like this below IP Address:
http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?...=200.96.73.211

I did it modifying the phrase thread_displayproxyip, and writing:
but generates a bad URL:
http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?...P.rima-tde.net

hrm do we have to update all threads or anything? cause I installed fine, but ummm nothing has changed when I click on reveal IP.

You can't unless you modify the code.

Nothing will change unless a proxy is detected at the time of posting, then the ip icon will be red and the extra details will be displayed if you click it.

It is not (and cannot ever be) retrospective.

Isn't proxy detection a standard in vB 3.5?
I thought I saw something like that in the source code of the freshly downloaded package.

EDIT: Yes, it is, and your hack says to replace some of that.
What is the difference between your detection and vB's detection?

EDIT: lol... USER AGENT never change? I don't think so. Both IPADDRESS and USER AGENT can be changed in Opera without restarting the brower :P

No.

Nowhere in a default vb installation will you be able to see if a person is using a proxy server, or do anything with (or even know) their real ip address.

That code (which btw is in all 3.0.x versions as well) attempts to detect the real ip (as ALT_IP) for the session hash, and that's it. It does absolutely nothing else with it whatsoever.

Not really sure what your point is, that's a Jelsoft comment, not mine. I'd like to know how you change your ip address via a browser .......

I understand. And what is the reason you added another constant?

I know. Lol was directed at Jelsoft; IP can be changed via proxy that is specified within a browser.

I'm thinking to define a new variable and save only the ip number. How can I do it?
Paul, may you help me?

use https connect vbb，the real ip can't not logged。

The link you use will work fine as it is, ARIN picks out the IP address and ignores the rest - the example you gave does not work because the 200.x x x range is not controlled by ARIN, it's controlled by LACNIC

installed and working great, excelent hack :)

this should be a feature of vbulletin!

hmm.. i installed it and im getting the following error on my forums

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/XXXX/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 2017

i cant even browse the board without getting this error...?

Then you have made an error editing class_core.php, check your work. :)

Version 2.11 uploaded.

This includes changes in the way it works internally, there is no need to upgrade if your current version is happily working.

Paul quick question...I was not paying attention and installed this without having 'Allow Overwrite' clicked...will this cause problems?

Thanks!

If you havn't installed it before then it won't make any difference.

Ok that is what I thought...appreciate the response as always!!

great idea and hack - installs with glee

Paul;

Thanks for the great hack! Very nice, simple to install and works great on vb 3.5.1.

A few notes:

I noticed, after checking through my steps over and over again, that everything worked great, except for the red icon...which was not appearing. Also yes, I did make sure it was loaded into the correct style/images/button folder and so on.

I noticed that I got a different image/icon, one that was more like a square 'check box'. When choosing 'view image' it was looking for a file called 'ipp.gif'.

Now my custom style, uses an 'ip.gif' and all works well, but the hack some how, was making a call for 'ipp.gif'...which is WEIRD since this is not used anywhere in my custom style.

So, I just simply renamed 'px.gif' to 'ipp.gif' and all works great! The icon is red, I can hover the mouse arrow over the icon and it gives me the 'real ip address'.

Also, I can click on the red icon and I get the correct message:

Btw, here are the details on the proxy that I used to test this function:

Proxy IP Address: 200.219.184.81

Port #: 8080

User/Pass: N/A

I have another mod also installed called 'Log Logins Hack' and it was able to work with your hack and show me the real ip address. FYI, I did test with both anon and non-anon proxies just to make sure.

Thanks again for the sweek hack!

Hope my info is of some assitance.

One final question: Are there any tools at all that show up in AdminCP, when using this hack?



Peace!

J.

Hmm, px.gif used to be called ipp.gif in the old 3.0.x version. Somehow the old name sneaked into the template in the 2.11 update last week. I have fixed that now and uploaded the mended version (2.12). Thanks for reporting it :up:

No, this does not make any alterations to the ACP.

Hey Paul, thought you might be interested in a post I made regarding your mod working wth Zach's ipInfo -- Extra user IP information.

Here's my post:

Actually they work fine together apart from the display aspects in the postbit, if you install this hack, and then disable the product, it will still to the proxy > ip conversion, and use/record the real address, what it won't do is store/use the proxy address.

In fact, I *think* that if you have the latest version of this hack installed and fully active, if you then just manually disable the Proxy to Real IP (2) plugin, they should co-exist nicely.

I assume to upgrade you just import product and allow overwrite?

Yes. Only the product has changed, not the file edits.

That is what I thought, but just wanted to make sure :)

Thanks as always Paul!!

Paul;

Thanks for the tip. Yes, as I outlined in my post, they both can co-exist...it's just the UI side that's not totally compatible. However, I'm glad that all I have to do is just disable the 'Proxy to Real IP (2) plugin' instead of the entire hack...which is pretty cool.

Any word on a future update that fixes the UI issue?

Thanks again for the hack!

J.

Sorry, I think I have turned a bit stupid now...

Do I need to uninstall the old one before importing the new or is the system intelligent enough to over write the old?

Thanks!

Do exactly as you asked before ;

Not really, it's not that important, it's only the displaying of the red image that you lose, all the functionality is there, the same url is still called when you click it.

If you really want you could edit the ipinfo link into the postbit_proxyip template and turn Plugin 2 back on.

Thanks Paul...not sure why I always doubt myself when I know the answer. Guess I was thinking that it would then create two plugins if I did not uninstall the previous.

Thanks again sir!

Uninstalled. Got a few database errors this morning with a link to class_core.php; a day after I modded class_core.php for this hack.
